Uber China merged with ride-hailing app Didi Chuxing — its biggest rival in China — in a $35 billion deal Monday.

Didi started generating a lot of interest in May when Apple invested $1 billion in the company — marking the largest single investment Didi Chuxing had ever received, the company wrote in a statement at the time.

Didi offers seven services through its app, all of which are listed in a grid once you open it.
